If anyone bothered looking up her story, that is fleeing Afghanistan with her younger brother because of the reinstatement of the Taliban and the banning of all women from both the gym and the classroom THEN being invited to join the IOC Refugee Team while residing in Spain, I’d say she’s more than earned the opportunity to grandstand a bit in light of the IOC rule banning political protest.
An unironic GOOD FOR HER, and well-earned. Despite her disqualification because of the rule being broken, it’s not like it MEANS anything, since she was defeated by India before the round-robin. DOUBLE GOOD FOR HER.
you go girl!! imagine repping a country where music is banned.
She lost on her own merit and she knew, thus she wanted to do this (she also wasn’t dqd) But the moment was amazing
Worth it
Props that she took a stand, more than likely knowing what the outcome was gonna be
Fuck the Taliban and the IOC
I do get that it can’t be a free-for-all, but “no politics” always does sound a bit odd in a contest of, y’know, countries, including some who aren’t allowed to use the name they’d like because of…?
Lost match, winning at life.
I can understand the olympics decision (which is correct to do, else everyone would come with political messages) You can hate it as much as you want, but there is a reason why there is this rules for contestans. It’s important to see the things logical, not emotional.
Her Message was still seen by the world and that disqualification and the resulting “Drama” around it from people who doesn’t think rationally will just give it more attention , so it’s a win for everyone
Possible also Batgirl.
She did EXACTLY what she wished to do.
Despite what ideology you support her action and then disqualification had her make her point.
Love her or hate her,she did an excellent act towards her goal.
Not like she had the skills to win….sure felt like she was good enuf to enter the event with every intention of it being about the valid statement and I’m all for it!
Basic human rights should not be a political stance.
I support her, women in Afghanistan were treated like animal.
That’s about as hip hop as you can get. Metal af.
fucking dumb to view very basic human right a political thing here
Seems like the whole world just moved on and forgot that her country is basically controlled by the f**g Taliban.
The same IOC that gladly let Hitler turn their games into a fascist propaganda festival for some extra bucks? Even as Jews were deprived of rights? This is actually completely on-brand for them.
Fuck the taliban
And a child rapist from the Netherlands was allowed to compete no problem. Would sure be nice if some consistent standards were upheld.
She got her moment. Win for her.
I think she’ll call this a win. Got her message on the big stage.
“hey look, they’re giving away afghan women”
sorry.
She 100% knew this would be the outcome, this is a baller move. Sucks she had to sacrifice her personal achievements to get the word out.
She knew she wasn’t going to beat India (the B-girl, not the country) so just being there and able to get that message in was a win for her.
In all seriousness, this is a humanitarian slogan not a political one. It’s shameful that the IOC can’t delineate the two.
The fact that this is more important to her than the win itself speaks volumes. That poor woman.
